What's new for the 2020 Ford Explorer?

Now in its 6th generation, the 2020 Ford Explorer has been entirely redesigned from the ground up. As America's all-time best-selling SUV, the 2020 Explorer has an amazing pedigree that will now offer more power, space and technology. The all-new rear-wheel-drive architecture improves the Explorer's off-road capability and maximum towing capacity. A new, quieter cabin has been crafted to be a sanctuary for all passengers, and there are more than a dozen new standard features over the previous model.

2020 Explorer Trims and Features

The 2020 Explorer comes in four different trim lines - XLT, Limited, ST and Platinum. In addition to these four trims, the Explorer also comes in a hybrid version. All Explorers have power liftgates, three-zone automatic climate control and three-row seating. Auto high-beam headlamps can detect poor lighting conditions and switch on to better illuminate the road ahead.

A rear view camera is standard along with a washer system to make sure you can always see what's behind you. The all-new Terrain Management System allows the driver to select from seven different drive modes with an elegant dial in the center console. A colossal 10.1-inch portrait-style touchscreen is also available.

2020 Ford Explorer Horsepower

Powering the 2020 Explorer is a wide range of engine options that have been refined for quieter performance and better fuel efficiency. A 300-hp turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-four, a 365-hp 3.0-liter twin turbocharged V6, and a growling 400-hp 3.0-liter V6 (available only on the ST) are your choices here, as well as a hybrid 3.3-liter V6 with a single 44-hp motor. The transmission is an impressive 10-speed automatic that also has a manual shifting mode for spirited driving.

Ford Explorer Safety

Safety and security options are plentiful in the new Explorer, bundled together in a package called Co-Pilot 360. AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control (RSC) helps maintain control on different road conditions such as ice or gravel. Seat Belt buckle alarms are available on all seats, and a front passenger knee airbag inflates between the passenger's knees and the instrument panel. Lane-Keeping Assist and Lane-Keeping Alert are available along with a forward sensing system. Pre-Collision Assist with automatic emergency braking and a pedestrian detection system ensure that you will be kept safe. The Explorer can also come with the all-new Adaptive Cruise Control with Speed Sign Recognition, a system that uses cameras to read speed signs and adjust the speed accordingly.

The 2020 Ford Explorer represents the best in features, performance and value in an incredible package.
